Green-Tipped Guilt and the Tao

My fear whistles to me from the dark. "Why didn't you work today?" the mother in my head asks me. Of course, this isn't my real mother. It's the guilt that rises up in me, when I've set out towards a goal but don't busy myself with keeping onward towards accomplishing it, even for one day. I feel the day was spent enjoying the bright light, soaking up vitamin D from the sun who appeared to grace us with it's cheery countenance. So onward we struggle through the "sea of arrows" even though green-tipped guilt has had a bout with my soul.
Speaking of my mother, she has decided that I need to pay a sort of rent of about 50$ a month, just to help with electricity. I've been mulling that over in my head and it seems an appropriate payment. I've lived with my mom 20 odd years and the favor isn't too much to ask. However, it's one more obstacle in the way of my debts being paid.
One acrument of the day has been reading "The Notebook of All Things English." This will help me with my writing skills, by tying together loose ends in my writing, helping with structuring articles, and having more strong and bold thesis statements. By just reading through the notebook, I feel myself become more critical of my writing style, which today is loose and free as a bluebird on the wing. If I'm to become a better writer, I can't be afraid of making points and knitting together paragraphs to come to one concluding purpose statement.
By working on this one skill of mine, I become more valuable to companies seeking my services, and guilt is erased from my mind. While there were some losses to compound today, tomorrow an training session is scheduled and I will be starting on a new venture. To let myself move through the natural flow of the universe is my plan. To be the "uncarved block," mentioned in The Tao of Pooh. To not let stumbling blocks such as guilt frustrate me. Tomorrow will be as full as I let the day be.
